No, not really. The instrument requires a huge amount of pressure to be continuosly blown into the bag, if using the common Highland pipes. There are other pipes which require you to squeeze the bag continuously somewhat as a chicken flaps its wings. But, once you train your chest, throat, and face muscles, it becomes fairly easy.
If you have played a fingered instrument, then the pipes arent TOO much harder. Piping requires many styles of trills, but it's like any other instrument -- you have to practice to get better at it and learn.
Many area have piping groups you can join, and get practice in playing with a group.
Bagpipe chanter and drones use a double reed setup similar but larger to an Oboe, except that the bagpipe reeds are inside the pipes, so your mouth never needs to touch them. They need playing around with to get them to sound off reliably, though.
If you get pipes and are serious, try to avoid the plastic ones made primarily in Pakistan.

OK, for one, there are no bagpipes in Baghdad. They don't have them and don't use them (Bagpipes are Scottish/European).
